? RC Boat operate in much the same way as other RC vehicles with a hand-held controller that communicates with an on-board receiver for adjusting steering and speed. There are both toy-grade and hobby-grade RC Boat, with the toy-grade being more basic and less powerful than the hobby-grade versions.

? RC Boat don't have to be limited to two servos, nor does the two-servo limit mean you can't do some special effects. Try installing an automotive windshield washer motor to a pickup tube that extends into the water and hook the other end to a fire hose. The motor can be started when the rudder is full left or full right, giving a realistic appearance to a fire boat. Electric sirens and lighting can also be installed in a similar manner.

? Many rc boat come in build-your-own-boat (unassembled) kits but Ready-to-Run (RTR) models are becoming more readily available as. This is the type of RC Boat that attracts beginners and it's probably the largest portion of the RC boat hobby. Powered by motors or engines, there are sport boats and racing boats. The sport boats are fun and relatively easy to operate. And because they aren't primarily about speed they are a good choice.
